A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 706 Blackmail with Drug Production

When Professor Chai saw the white old man taking pictures of the production line, he was very aware of the enemy's spies and immediately realized that something was wrong and was about to speak up to remind him.

But when he saw Lin Sanqi smiling at the foreigners taking photos and not trying to stop them, he resisted the urge to stop her.

The secretaries next to them, Bai Ruli and Li Yujie, had received relevant training, so they were a little anxious:
"Commissioner Lin, the foreigners are filming our production line. Do you want me to grab the camera?"

Lin Sanqi said casually:

"Just take pictures, where are all the secrets? What's the point of just taking pictures of the shell? The key technologies for controlling the production line, such as programmable logic controllers, distributed control systems, PID control algorithms, etc., cannot be copied by the other party."

While Professor Witte was busy taking photos and exploring the technology, Lin Sanqi quietly whispered to Professor Anthony and Professor Theodore:
"Professors, old man Witt is here to pick peaches. I know you are not convinced, so please cooperate with me later and let this old man bleed."

When Professor Theodore heard this, he showed surprise on his face:

"Yes, Fake Witt, he just paid 10 million US dollars and wanted to take away our achievements. This is too cheap for him. Lin, you can kill him without worry, Witt has a lot of money.

Not only does he have a lot of red envelopes, he is also a shareholder of several European pharmaceutical companies and owns a world-class key laboratory. So this guy's personal assets are at least several hundred million pounds. "

Lin Sanqi sighed in his heart, there were hundreds of millions of pounds in the 1960s. It seems that being an ordinary doctor really has no "money prospects".

Professor Anthony did not object to Lin Sanqi's plan to kill people, and asked curiously:

"How are we going to cooperate with you later?"

Lin Sanqi said: "The total amount of diamonds I sold to you is 1500 million US dollars. After deducting the million US dollars red envelope fee, you still have to give me million. In a moment you will..."

Professor Anthony and Professor Theodore nodded repeatedly when they heard this:

"OK, I'll do as you say and make this vampire Witt pay the price."

Lin Sanqi thought, you two are not Bethune, you have already "invented" the anti-tuberculosis drugs, and the relevant papers have been published in the official media. As a result, these two guys came here to take advantage of you. To put it bluntly, you are just trying to take advantage of the situation.

So there is no difference between Professor Witte and Anthony's team. Westerners have bandit logic in their bones.

In the county office
Lin Sanqi personally took out three cans of iced Coke from the refrigerator and placed them in front of the three white professors:
"Well, now you believe my sincerity, right? I even took out the latest drug production line in our country and asked tens of thousands of people to start working at the same time, just to produce Epyridamole tablets as soon as possible."

The three white professors all nodded, they were convinced.

It is definitely not some shitty capital that takes out a few slides and then gives sales speeches everywhere, then disappears after defrauding investors' money. Oh no, see you on Monday.

Lin Sanqi continued to deceive:

"For me now, the equipment and the factory site are not a problem. The problem is that there is not enough follow-up funding. According to my estimation, it would cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars to build a pharmaceutical factory covering only 5 square kilometers.

The banks in Hong Kong were not optimistic about my investment in the mainland, and coupled with the strained relations between the two places, I was unable to obtain a loan from a Hong Kong bank.

The mainland government wants to invest in my pharmaceutical factory, but you also know that if the pharmaceutical factory is tainted with red capital, it will probably have an adverse impact on the entry of ethoxypyridamole tablets into the European and American markets.

So I…”

Before Lin Sanqi finished speaking, Professor Theodore slammed the table:
"Lin, we are close allies and partners in making money together. If you make money, we make money. Similarly, if you lose money, we lose money. So for the sake of our common cause, we decided to sponsor you."

Lin Sanqi blushed and said embarrassedly:

"How can I do this? You three have already donated 20 million US dollars to the Epyridamole Tablets project. How can I ask for your sponsorship for the construction of a pharmaceutical factory?"

Lin Sanqi pronounces the word "sponsorship" with a particularly strong emphasis.

Professor Witte is an old fox, so how could he not understand the implicit meaning of Lin Sanqi's words?

He is not short of money. Although 10 or 20 million US dollars is a lot, it is not unaffordable for him as a "medical capitalist" this time.

But there are some things he needs to understand clearly, because what rich people fear most is being slaughtered like pigs.

"Lin, if we continue with the current process, how long will it take you to mass-produce the ethylpyridamole tablets needed for clinical use?"

Lin Sanqi said with embarrassment: "I can build a few factories in about a year and start production immediately, but due to limited conditions, the amount of drugs produced is also limited, and it may not be able to supply the entire market by then."

Theodore was anxious: "Lin, the United States is the most powerful country in the world and has the largest market. You should supply us first."

Professor Witte asked calmly:
"Lin, if you have sufficient funds, let me give you an analogy. When will you be able to produce enough drugs to supply both North America and Europe?"

Lin Sanqi pretended to estimate:
"If I have enough funds, I can purchase a large amount of building materials and start construction at the same time. In addition, I can also purchase drug production lines and build a new raw material factory at the same time, and I can achieve mass production in as fast as three months."

Seeing that Professor Witte was grumbling but refusing to pay, Theodore became anxious. He took out a checkbook from his briefcase and started writing.

Then he tore off the check and threw it on Lin Sanqi's desk:
"Lin, here is $1500 million. Consider it a sponsorship from our team. Please start production as soon as possible. According to our estimates, the market for tuberculosis drugs needed clinically in the United States alone is at least $50 billion a year.

50 billion US dollars. Don't forget that this is a monopoly drug. According to international practice, the gross profit of monopoly drugs is more than 60%. Even if the company's expenses are removed, the net profit is more than 10 billion.

Now we are wasting time for tens of millions of dollars. To use the words of your country, this is like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. If our team had limited funds, I would really like to give you hundreds of millions of dollars and let you build a pharmaceutical factory within a month. "

Professor Anthony also blinked his eyes and exclaimed:

"Yes, Lin, take this money. When the medicine is produced, you must give preferential treatment to our American market."

Professor Witte could no longer sit still. The US market made 10 billion US dollars a year, but Europe was not poor either. Even if it could not make 10 billion, it would still have 7 million or 8 million.

When Professor Witte thought about how much less money he would make in a year due to project funding issues, he finally couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly took out his briefcase and started filling in the numbers.

Lin Sanqi, Professor Anthony and Professor Theodore looked at each other and tried hard not to laugh.

Professor Witte filled in the numbers, put the cap on the pen, and handed it to Lin Sanqi:

"Lin, here is 500 million pounds, which is about 1500 yuan when converted into US dollars. It can be regarded as my personal sponsorship to you. But my requirement is that you must start supplying within 3 months, and we will also demand the same amount as the US does."

Lin Sanqi really wanted to hold the check and kiss it. After all his deception, plus the $1000 million that Professor Witte had paid before, he now had a total of $4000 million in his hands.

Forty million dollars in the 1960s might not be enough to build a modern pharmaceutical factory in Europe.

But 40 million US dollars can build dozens of modern pharmaceutical factories in China. Lin Sanqi just got a pharmaceutical factory for free.

Lin Sanqi stood up and sincerely extended his hand to the sponsor:

"Professor Witte, thank you for your generous support. Don't worry, all your investment today will bring you rich returns tomorrow."

Professor Witte waved his hand and said with a serious expression:
"Now we can sign a formal contract. Lin, you will be responsible for producing all the medicines and selling them to us at a uniform price. What is your price?"

Anthony and Theodore were also very concerned about the price and their expressions became serious.

Lin Sanqi had already planned this, and now he spoke:

"You only need to take one tablet of ibiricum a day, and generally a course of treatment is six months, so a patient needs about 6 tablets.

Based on the U.S. per capita annual income of $1961 in 3280, if I charge $180 for a course of 1000 pills to treat a case of tuberculosis, is that too much?

As for how much you, as distributors, want to sell a course of treatment for, that is your business, I will not interfere. Whether you sell it for 2,000 or 20,000, that is what you deserve.”

What Lin Sanqi didn't know was that in Europe and the United States, medical expenses do not have to be paid out of one's own pocket when seeking treatment.

For example, the United States emphasizes medical insurance, so Anthony's team needs to deal with insurance companies to get ethiopicry tablets included in the medical insurance payment scope.

Most European countries take the social welfare route, where the state bears the medical expenses incurred by public hospitals and patients only have to pay a small amount.

So as long as ethiopicry tablets can be included in the medical insurance, according to the nature of European and American countries, it is impossible to cure a terminal illness without paying several times your annual income.

Professor Witt, Professor Anthony, and Professor Theodore looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.
